Subject: PTFs, microcode, and new functions for AFP hardware/software ======================================================================== Recent Updates: 07/17/97: Update PSF/AIX, AS/400, PSF/MVS V2.2 and PSF/VSE PTFs 06/02/97: Update PSF/MVS and OGL/370 for new color support 05/20/97: Update ALL areas 03/31/97: Update AS/400 and PSF/AIX PTFs, as well as microcode updates 01/30/97: Update ALL areas and reference information in other places ======================================================================== This file contains hardware (microcode) and software maintenance levels (or references to where this information can be found) to support new AFP function - including the following: * Basic N_UP * Power Positioning (also known as "Enhanced" N_UP) * AFCCU printers (such as InfoPrint 60, InfoColor 70 and InfoPrint 4000) * Barcode support in PAGEDEF * PSF Direct (for both PSF/2 and PSF/AIX) * 300 pel and outline fonts (both resident and downloadable) * TCP/IP printer support * MVS Download * Netspool * Extended color support (for devices such as InfoPrint 4005) For more detailed information on a variety of Printing Systems Company products, point your Internet web browser at both of the following: http://www.printers.ibm.com/driver.html http://www.printers.ibm.com/softsol.html =================================================== Considerations for N_UP: N_UP support requires both hardware (microcode) and software (PSF and PPFA) changes. There are two flavors of N_UP: a) Basic N_UP, which will work on both CCU and AFCCU printers and b) Power positioning, which will only work on AFCCU printers. For S/370 host systems (MVS, VM, and VSE) N_UP is requested in the FORMDEF, and support to allow this is in PPFA/370. NOTE: The PPFA/370 updates allow for the INVOKE keyword in FORMDEF and COPYGROUP. This is needed if N_UP 2 or more is desired and the application needs to change copygroups on a sheet. Here is additional information on this subject: If N_UP 2 or greater is specified and you seem to be getting 1 UP, the problem is probably due to switching copy groups between partitions. A copy group switch in IPDS terms is an Invoke Medium Map (IMM), and the default action when IMM is received is to stop processing of the current SHEET - and resume printing on the NEXT sheet. To remain on the current sheet, but move to a new partition, the N_UP specification in the FORMDEF should include the INVOKE NEXT keywords. You might also find an eject to a new sheet if the copygroups use MEDIUM overlays instead of PAGE or PARTITION overlays. Medium overlays are specified using the OVERLAY command in a FORMDEF. To get a page or partition overlay, you need to specify the OVERLAY keyword in the N_UP definition. Further details on N_UP support can be found in the latest version of the PPFA manual: S544-3700-02, and in the latest PSF/MVS pubs. You can get initial details from G544-3984-00 (PSF/MVS V2.2.0 and PPFA/370 V1.1.0 Update Guide). For AS/400 systems, basic N_UP is requested in the printer file. (It can also be requested in a FORMDEF that is sent over from a S/370.) The keywords to use in the printer file are: - MULTIUP (1, 2, 3, or 4) - REDUCE (*NONE) NOTE: If you should specify the REDUCE keyword as *TEXT, you'll get the OS/400 version of multiup where the operating system collects the pages together and shrinks the font with PSF being none the wiser. This function has been on the OS/400 for some time but it has several restrictions. Power positioning is enabled in FORMDEFs created via PPFA. PPFA was ported to OS/400 in V3.2 and V3.7. Note: The printer file is NOT being enhanced to support Power Positioning. PSF software must be at certain levels to support N_UP. Here they are: Op. Sys.

AFP fixes for OS/400 - current as of 06/23/97: The following PTFs are general fixes for any AFP configured printer. A current CUM PKG and the following PTF's should be applied to any system that is using IPDS printers that are configured for AFP *YES.

Additional maintenance information on OS/400 AFP is available on the Internet: http://as400service.ibm.com Follow the links down through Knowledge Base and select area PRINT. Expand this area and then search down for the PTF lists (besides AFP, there are lists for TCP/IP, LAN, and HPT). =================================================== * PSF/6000 (V1: 5765-140-00 or V2: 5765-505-00): Base AFCCU support (no N_UP) is supplied with PSF/6000 V1.2. Please ensure the latest service level is applied. TCP/IP attachment of 3900D/W is highly recommended. PSF/6000 V1.2 with the latest service supports N_UP via PSF Direct. The latest service level is U441655. Documentation updates are via U436010. Native N_UP support (both basic and power positioning) is via PSF/AIX V2.1. The latest PTFs for PSF/AIX are: Base: U450987 Man pages: U449289 ACIF: UQ06748 PCL2AFP: U447344 PS2AFP: U450109 SAP2AFP: U449694 PPFA: UN98040 =================================================== * PSF/2 (V1: 5601-298-01 and V2: 5622-551-01): Base AFCCU support (no N_UP) is supplied with PSF/2 V1.1 at the latest CSD (UR41102). Maintenance beyond the CSD is available through service or on the Internet at: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/printers/products/psfos2/r110 N_UP function is available for printers attached to a supported host (as in the table above) via PSF/2 V2R0 with PSF Direct. N_UP support will NOT be available via PSF/2 DPF or PSF/2 LAN. PSF/2 V2.1's (which replaces V1.1) latest CSD is UR44121. There are additional updates beyond that CSD (including a CSD for outline fonts - UR46007).
